PDF is searchable with FoxIt but not in Adobe Reader X. Exact same .PDF file is loaded. Why?

I have been trying to figure out why my .PDF file was not searchable in Adobe Reader X. I downloaded and installed FoxIt PDF software to see if it was a problem only in Adobe Reader X and to my amazement it was Adobe Reader X that is the failure. But why? Does anyone else experience this issue. That is, loading .PDF files that are not searchable in Adobe Reader X but work perfectly fine in FoxIt?

Hi,
What i understood from "searchable" is "searching text in a PDF document" , am I right?
which version of Adobe Reader are you using ?
Please also share the PDF file in which you are facing the problem in searching with Adobe Reader.
Thanks.

Pdf files viewable in ibooks but not in adobe reader?

I can open and view pdf files in ibooks but i downloaded adobe reader and they arent even showing up. The file is a text book and is too big to email myself. any suggestions?

Adobe recommends against have different versions of the same application installed at the same time. They also discourage having Reader and Acorbat installed at the same time. I would install version 6 and repair or reinstall version 9.

Created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields. The fields works in other pdf-readers(nitro,reader etc), but not in adobe reader and acrobat. Please help.

Hi,
I have created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields for a work related file. I've used nitro pro to create the formfield. They works in nitro, reader, foxit etc. but not adobe reader. From page 3 and out, the font wont show when writing in a formfield. Some formfield doesnt even show.
Please help me fix this (hopefully before the presentation at work friday) :-)

Agreed. Adobe makes no claims that their Reader will work properly with forms made from third party software.

Safari won't display pdf in browser and I do not have adobe reader or ply ins

I've been checking the posts and all the discussions/questions and answers but the only thing I have been able to find about problems displaying pdfs in browser have to do with adobe plug-ins. I never had adobe reader and checked in /library/internet plug ins and never found those plug ins. I then downloaded and installed adobe reader X and got rid of the plug ins in the library and that still has not solved the problem. Whenever I click on a link for a pdf it just automatically downloads the pdf. I just want to view the pdfs in the browser.
Thanks for the help

Hi,
You probably won't have to reinstall Safari. Two things you can try. If you open Adobe Reader and go into the 'Internet' section of its preferences, you should be able to disable the browser plug-in. Some times that alone isn't enough, in which case, browse to HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and move the Adobe plugin out of the folder. Restart Safari for the changes to take effect.

Can download but not install Adobe Reader on Mac OS X 10.4.11

I have downloaded both Adobe Reader 9 and 8, and tried to install them on my Mac. I have chosen the versions that go with my OS X 10.4.11. When I dubbleclick on the icon for the 8 version, I am told it cannot be opened, because the system doesn't support the programme. I can get to the installation guide with the 9 version, but when I try to install it, I am told the programme cannot be installed on this computer, and that I should check that the system meets the requirements. I have no idea what to do...

yes, I have amongst others these two, that are rather important for me to open

when I try to open these pages, I get a new window with the address up top, but completely black, and sometimes the frame with the computers programes comes up, and I have to chose something - sometimes it doesn't come up

Form save works in Adobe Reader 8 but not in Adobe Reader 9

We have an FDA form that customers fill out and save in Adobe Reader. The form worked perfectly with Reader 8, but we are seeing the following Adobe Reader error with Reader 9:
"This document enables Reader capabilities that are no longer in this Reader version."
Also, in Reader 8, the purple bar at the top reads:
"Please fill out the following form. You can save data typed into this form."
However, in Reader 9, the purple bar reads:
"Please fill out the following form. You cannot save data typed into this form.
Please print the completed form if you would like a copy for your records."
The same PDF form was used for both readers.
Does anyone have any ideas? Did Adobe really disable this capability in Reader 9? Their website states you can save forms with Reader 9.

Adobe Reader 9 can't save the old FDA forms. FDA must update their forms.

Accessing SOAP Web Services: Running on Acrobat 9, But NOT on Adobe Reader 9.

Hi All,
I am using webservice to populate form control. It is working fine in Acrobat 9 but When I am opening form in Adobe Reader 9 its NOT WORKING. Its niether giving any error nor any respone. Do Adobe Reader need some extra code to access/run web services or where I am wrong? Please help.
Thanks.
Abhinav

Hi Anhinav,
Because reader is not "extended" Web Services will not work on Reader. They do however (as you've noted) work in Acrobat, which is "extended".
To make web services work in Reader, you will need to purchase the LiveCycle Reader Extensions.
Hope that helps.

Links in my PDF work in Acrobat Pro and Apple Preview, but not in Adobe Reader.

Links are created in InDesign. Is there a solution for this?
I need the forms to work in Readder as well.

What kinds of links?

PDX index works in adobe reader 9.4 but not in adobe X !!

Hello I have some commercial genealogy DVD's, bought a few years ago, with PDX files on them that work fine with adobe reader 9.4 but not in adobe reader X. Adobe reader X says they are invalid PDX index files. Ofcourse adobe says that version X is Backward compatible and I must contact the vendor of my dvd's !!!.
Does anybody else has this problem ?
I do not have the pro version so I cannot rebuild the indexes myself.
Hans
PS for now I have removed version 10 and re-installed version 9.4
Windows XP SP3

"Adobe Reader X doesn't support search catalogs created with Acrobat 5 or earlier.
You may try Adobe Reader 9 or create new catalogs with Acrobat X Pro."
I actually contacted my vendor and he is sending me a new disk free of charge . He told me he had to destroy his whole stock of cd's that contains old pdx files.

I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. Thanks for any ideas!

On my iPad, I'm trying to open a PDF from Safari with iBooks, but when I choose "Open with ..." in Safari, only Pages and Dropbox show as options. I'm running iOS 7.1.2 and iBooks 3.2. I have rebooted the iPad and that did not help, and reinstalled iBooks, which also changed nothing. Thanks for any ideas!

Yup, it was uploaded to our school Wiki as a PDF, and Pages did open it. I was then able to move it to iBooks, but I'd rather avoid the extra steps.

Interactive PDF–buttons working in preview but not in PDF

I have a series of buttons that reveal hidden graphics. One of those hidden graphics is a background layer, in a separate layer, that should appear when a button is clicked. It is showing up, but in front of all other content, even though the layer is in the background. I have nothing else on the background layer. Also, the preview in InDesign shows this working properly, it's the exported Interactive PDF that is having problems. Any suggstions?

Show/hide buttons can let you show and hide graphics which have been themselves turned into buttons. But in InDesign, they cannot control the visibility of layers. I think that's because of the way buttons are handled in the PDF file. I think the buttons themselves are seen as a separate layer above the "content" of the PDF.
You can change layer visiblity with buttons but not in InDesign. You have to do it in Acrobat.
Create your layers in InDesign. Export as a PDF but in the Export Adobe PDF dialog box, you must select Acrobat 6 compatibility and check Create Acrobat Layers. This takes InDesign layers and makes them PDF layers which you can work with in Acrobat.
You can either create the buttons in InDesign or in Acrobat, but controlling layer visibility isn't an available action in InDesign. So you'll need to change their action WITHIN ACROBAT.
In Acrobat, you can choose View > Navigation Panels > Layers. You can turn the eyes on and off to control visibility like in InDesign. Then set the layer visibility the way you want the first button to set and set the action for the first button to be Set Layer Visibility. When you click Add. It sets the visibility to the current state. Repeat the process for the second button.
In InDesign CS5, to export buttons you'll need to choose File > Export > Adobe PDF (Interactive). Check Acrobat Layers.

HP D110 AIO printer. Prints jam when printing with wireless, but not when hooked to USB cable! HELP!

I have a HP D110. It jams the paper when I print with wireless, but not when I use USB cable. Any ideas?

From what you describe you are having issues printing from MS Office. Have you had trouble printing from other resources on your computer (e.g. from the internet or another program)? The first thing I am going to suggest is that we start by uninstalling and reinstalling the printer from the resources available online.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it (this is important). Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.

Move graphics with text--but not inline--in PM...??

Hello, is there a way in PageMaker to move graphics with text but not inline? I ask because right now I see two options for graphics:
--inline, so you cannot place the graphic exactly where you want AND the text only flows way above or below--but not next to--the graphic
or
--independent so you can place the graphic exactly where you want and the text DOES flow right next to the graphic, but then the graphic doesn't move with the text
I'd like to be able to place graphics exactly where I want AND have them move with the text, like the "Move object with text" option in Word.
thank you!
L

well it has been a while since i used PageMaker so i didn't realize it was "dead."
though i'm not surprised and am kind of glad. i was hired into a new job recently
to work on a department newsletter, and i'm trying to find a good authoring program
within our budget. right now the newsletter is in Word but we've had a lot of problems
with Word so i'm seeking an alternate solution. i'd like Frame but again there isn't
enough money in the budget. i need a good option that is $500 or less...i'm trying Publisher
now too but not enough functionality...
